Check if an Alt is deleted or not
 

Hi, there!

Is it possible to check wether a player character exists any longer.

As far as i know:
- Creating a character generates a unique GUID which is server related.
- After deleting the character the GUID always exists.

Tryed to catch unique PlayerGUIDs and use GetPlayerInfoByGUID() but there seems to be no related information about player chars' demise.

If it's for your faction you could attempt to add them as a friend and watch for a "player not found" system message.

More context as to why you want to know if the character exists might help someone come up with an alternative.

I cached broker information and don't want/have to manually delete characters in the list if they do not exists anymore (want to avoid menu option)

If you're just checking whether your own alts still exist then you should be able to use the friend method, you can suppress any messages so the player won't see them, but you might want to minimize how often you check.

You could also presumably use the ignore list for the same test, having the added bonus of working for the opposite faction, if someone has some need for that.
